2V0-621D · Question #192
Refer to the Exhibit. A vSphere 6.x DRS cluster is configured as shown in the Exhibit. Based on the exhibit, which statement is true?
The correct answer is C. A virtual machine can be powered on in the DB Resource Pool with a 3 GHz CPU Reservation.. A virtual machine with a 3 GHz CPU reservation can be powered on in the DB Resource Pool because it is configured as expandable, allowing it to borrow resources beyond its base reservation if available from the parent cluster.

Why each option
A virtual machine with a 3 GHz CPU reservation can be powered on in the DB Resource Pool because it is configured as expandable, allowing it to borrow resources beyond its base reservation if available from the parent cluster.
The Web Resource Pool has a 2 GHz CPU reservation and is NOT expandable. With 1.5 GHz already consumed, only 0.5 GHz of its reservation remains, making it impossible to power on a VM with a 3 GHz reservation.
The Web Resource Pool has a 2 GHz CPU reservation and is NOT expandable. With 1.5 GHz already consumed, only 0.5 GHz of its reservation remains, making it impossible to power on a VM with a 4 GHz reservation.
The DB Resource Pool has a 5 GHz CPU reservation and is marked as 'Expandable: YES'. This means it can use up to its 5 GHz reservation, and if more resources are needed for new VMs, it can borrow unreserved CPU from its parent DRS cluster. With 3 GHz currently consumed, adding a 3 GHz VM makes the total 6 GHz, which is possible if the cluster has at least 1 GHz of unreserved capacity available for the expandable pool.
While the DB Resource Pool is expandable, powering on a 4 GHz VM would bring its total reservation usage to 7 GHz (3 GHz existing + 4 GHz new). This requires borrowing 2 GHz from the parent cluster beyond its 5 GHz reservation, which may exceed the actual unreserved capacity of the cluster, whereas a 3 GHz reservation (requiring 1 GHz from cluster) is more likely to be satisfiable under typical cluster configurations.
